Chapter 1414: The Battle of the Latent Teeth (30)
"Hmmm, isn't it? That's rude. The proprietor of the shoe shop, who was evidently a good observer, seemed to have guessed something at once when he saw Segrade's astonishment and answer so ambiguously.
The boss kept silent about the slaves, picked out a pair of shoes with beautiful workmanship and simple design, and stuffed them into Segrade: "Try this pair, this should suit you, little meow." "
"Uh-huh. Segrade had to try on the shoes with a puzzled face, which was extremely embarrassing.
After buying the shoes and leaving the store, Juliet suddenly smiled and explained, "So, you should understand what's going on, right?"
"Nope. I really don't understand meow at all. The leopard boy was getting more and more confused, embarrassed and confused.
"You're such a kid who doesn't know the world. Juliet sighed, "Orcs are not uncommon in Africa—orcs are rare without slave chains around their necks. Because most of the orcs here were sold as slaves from Europe, there were very few orcs who actually had citizenship in a country in Africa - and even more so the orc children.
There are many children who are sold as commodities by their parents from the Dawn region every year, or are kidnapped by human traffickers. In Africa, the number of underage orc slaves is at least five figures. "
Segrade couldn't help but feel incredible: "What's meow, but why meow? Even if it's an orc, a child doesn't have much use and doesn't have much labor, not to mention, and it needs someone to take care of it, so it's very difficult." "
Juliette Luxford also looked at Segrade incredulously, and the girl thought it was strange that the words just now did not look like what a teenager would say. But she didn't follow up, but continued to explain: "Because orc children are cheaper than adult orcs, and the labor that orc children can provide is actually not much different from that of an adult human, and they eat less. What's more, some people think that orc children are very cute, and there are actually many people who buy slaves of orc children back and play with them as pets. "
"Oh" a deep feeling of nausea churned in Segrade's stomach.
"So, little Harris, if you walk down the street with me like this, passers-by will mistake me for the eldest lady of some house, and go out with my little slave. I don't mind too much. But you'd better dress modestly. "
"I am, so I am. The moment Juliet pointed out the incident, Segrad immediately blushed with shame: "This is really a trouble for you, big sister." "
"It's good that you understand. Juliet smiled bitterly, "But I won't give up on you." It's too dangerous to leave one of your children on the street, and my embarrassment is just a trifle compared to that. "
Segrade frowned aggrievedly.
"Come on, the next store. Juliet continued.
"What's meow, still want to meow?!"
"You have to change all your rustic clothes, or there will be no point in buying these shoes." I said I didn't want to be mistaken for my own little slave when I was walking down the street with you. The blonde girl smiled: "Don't worry, the big sister still has enough money on her, and it is not a big problem to buy another set of clothes." "
"But how can I just use your money meow, big sister-"
"Are you going to dig your own wallet?"
When it came to money, Segrad suddenly lost all his confidence. He didn't have much money with him when he came out, after all, he had come to track down his father, and he was in a hurry when he came out. But as a man, it has to be said that it is a great shame to ask a girl to help him pay the bills. Even though Segrade's body has now become a teenager, his heart is always unwilling.
"But we'll have to track down old Uncle Palamides," Segrad continued, "and if you rub it any longer, you'll lose them." "
"Pick one, put it on right away, pay for it and leave, it won't take you a lot of time. "And even if you lose it for a while, your leopard people's keen sense of smell will make it easy for you to continue tracking them, right?"
Juliet was a clever girl, and the Leopard Man's excuses could not fool her, and she was a woman, and women knew women best, and she knew that Palamides was brought into the dress shop by Rosetta to buy clothes, and that it would not have taken at least half an hour to get out.
"That's right, meow," Segrad couldn't argue any longer.
"Come on, little kitten~" Juliet smiled sweetly again, taking the leopard boy's hand and walking towards another clothing store. Segrade was the least resistant to the sweet smile of the girl, and after only being led a few steps, he gave in and walked into the store with his ears drooping.
Two minutes later, Segrade came out of the fitting room with a flushed face, dressed in a cute white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of sky blue short suspenders. The pants were so short that he felt uncomfortable, the kind of little shorts that only teenage boys would wear.
"Yo, that's good. Suddenly you feel like a beautiful boy?" said the blonde girl, looking at Segrade from top to bottom and bottom to top.
"You're kidding me, aren't you?" said Segrad let out a long sigh.
"Puff ho no, really no" Juliet covered her mouth and smiled, her words not convincing at all: "You are really cute in this dress, little Harris." Now let's go."
She had just turned around to leave the clothing store, but two familiar shadows had already walked in from outside the store.
"Buying clothes again, haven't you bought enough in that store just now?" said Palamides, carrying dozens of bags full of all kinds of new clothes, his face slightly tired.
Rosetta, the queen of jewels, said: "Hahaha, every clothing store here has a different style, this store tends to be casual, and the materials and cuts are the top in Cairo." It's rare to pass by, how can you not come and take a look?"
Juliet had just stepped into the door when they heard the conversation between the two men, and the clothing store was quite large, and it was still some distance from Segrade. Juliet then made a quick decision, pulled the leopard boy and ran to the fitting room, closing the door of the fitting room in an instant.
The fitting room is rather cramped and was originally designed to accommodate one person. Segrade was pressed against the wall by Juliet, and his face was almost pressed against the other party's chest, and he couldn't help but blush with fright: "What are you doing?"
"Shhhhhh Rosetta is a dark elf, and her hearing is already extremely sharp, I just hope she didn't hear the two hiding in the fitting room!
"Hmph, that's good. Palamides seemed to notice something unusual, but he remained silent, picking and choosing from the clothing store, pretending to be browsing for goods.
"Right? The clothes in this store are simply beautifully made, and the simple and elegant design is also very good. Rosetta didn't seem to notice anything, she smiled and walked over to pick out Palamides' clothes with a relaxed face: "Honey, this black shirt with silver trim seems to suit you, do you want to try it on?"
The leopard warrior, who was already covered in black hair, couldn't help but glance at the black shirt and complained: "Forget it, I'm already dark enough, and if I wear black clothes again, people will mistake me for running naked when I walk on the street." "
His humorous remarks immediately made Ms. Rosetta giggle.
Segrade peeked out through the crack in the fitting room door. Although all this theoretically has little to do with him, and he also thinks that it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, as a son, he sees his father flirting with a strange woman, and his heart is never good.
Palamides may have been the perfect lover, and he had all the qualities of a good man that a woman needs. He listens, is gentle and considerate, and has the right amount of humor. It's no wonder he can have such a good chat with Rosetta, the queen of gems. But in the past seven years, Segrade has accepted the premise that Vivien is the wife of Palamides, and it is impossible for his father to have no thoughts in his heart when he sees his father cheating on his wife behind his back.
Segrade's mind was so disturbed by a stirring that he could not listen to a word of the conversation between Palamides and Rosetta that followed.
The pair of little lovers picked and chose in the store, Qingqing and I took a long time to leave, and after they left, Juliet breathed a sigh of relief and shook the leopard man boy vigorously: "Harris, little Harris, they are gone, don't you have to chase them?"
"Oh!" Segrad recovered from his stunned state, "yes, yes, we have to go and keep tracking Meow." "
"Are you okay?" Juliet pushed open the door to the fitting room and glanced back at Segrade, "What's the matter, you're crying?"
"Cai, Cai didn't meow" The leopard man boy wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and was a little absent-minded: "What woman is my dad dating, and it has nothing to do with me." "
"Wait. Juliet suddenly heard something wrong from the other party's words, and couldn't help frowning: "Did you just say [Dad]?"
"Uhh I didn't say that. "
Juliet glared at Segrade, as if she had seen through the lie of the leopard boy: "Don't lie to the big sister. I'm pretty sure you just said [Dad]. Is that referring to Sir Palamidades?, what is your relationship with Sir Palamidas?!"
Segrade couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he felt that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to sigh and confess: "Well, Uncle Palamides is indeed my daddy meow." "
"So, yes, I'm Uncle Palamides' bastard meow. "Segrade is very clever in making up a lie.
